Product Description
The Peg Perego MECB0085U is the official 6-volt charger for the IAKB0509 green battery used in all Peg Perego toddler ride-on vehicles. If your original charger has been lost, damaged, or simply stopped working — or if you want a dedicated second charger to keep alongside a spare battery — this is the correct replacement, designed specifically for Peg Perego's 6V sealed lead-acid batteries.
Designed specifically for Peg Perego 6V batteries
Generic 6-volt chargers are easy to find, but not all of them are right for a sealed lead-acid battery. The MECB0085U is calibrated for the specific charge profile of Peg Perego's 6V IAKB0509 battery — delivering the correct 650mAh charge rate and stopping at the right voltage once the battery is full. A charger that overcharges or doesn't terminate properly degrades a sealed AGM battery quietly over time, shortening its lifespan well before it should need replacing. Using the official charger is the simplest way to protect your battery investment.
Straightforward to use
There's nothing complicated about the MECB0085U. Plug the charger into a standard household outlet, connect the charging lead to the battery's charging port, and watch the indicator light. It blinks yellow while charging and switches to a solid green when the battery is fully charged. That's it — no settings to configure, no charge modes to select.
Charge times: what to expect
At 650mAh, the MECB0085U is a gentle, steady charger well matched to the IAKB0509's 4.5Ah capacity. A completely depleted battery will be fully recharged in approximately 6 to 7 hours. For most families, a toddler's play session won't drain the battery completely, so typical recharge times are shorter. Plugging in during morning nap time means the battery is ready well before the afternoon session — and the green indicator light removes any guesswork about when it's done.
A note on part numbers
The MECB0085U has been sold under more than one part number over the years. You may also see it referenced as model 25200019 or — on older packaging — as MECB0037U. All refer to the same 6-volt Peg Perego charger. If the charger that came with your vehicle carries one of those numbers, this is the correct replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which battery does this charger work with?
The MECB0085U is designed for the Peg Perego IAKB0509 6V green battery — the battery used in all Peg Perego 6V toddler ride-on vehicles. It is not compatible with 12V batteries (which use the MECB0086U) or 24V batteries (which use the MECB0111). Always match the charger voltage to the battery voltage.
How do I know if my child's vehicle uses a 6V battery?
The easiest way is to look at the battery itself. Peg Perego color-codes their batteries by voltage: 6V batteries have a green case, 12V batteries have a blue case, and 24V batteries have a yellow case. If the battery in your vehicle has a green cover, this is the correct charger. You can also check the vehicle's model number against the compatibility list on this page.
How long does a full charge take?
The MECB0085U charges at 650mAh. A completely depleted IAKB0509 (4.5Ah) will take approximately 6 to 7 hours to reach a full charge. In practice, most batteries won't be fully depleted after a typical toddler play session, so everyday recharge times are usually shorter. The solid green indicator light tells you exactly when the battery is ready.
Is it safe to leave the charger plugged in after the battery is full?
The MECB0085U is designed to stop charging once the battery reaches full capacity, and the indicator will switch to solid green when complete. It is not designed for indefinite float charging, however — once the light goes green, it's best practice to unplug the charger. Leaving it connected for extended periods beyond a full charge can gradually reduce battery capacity over time.
My original charger says 25200019 or MECB0037U. Is this the same charger?
Yes. The MECB0085U, 25200019, and MECB0037U all refer to the same Peg Perego 6V charger at different points in time. Peg Perego has updated part numbers over the years without changing the underlying product. The MECB0085U is the current designation and is a direct replacement for any of those earlier numbers.
Can I use this charger if I upgrade to a different 6V battery brand?
The MECB0085U is designed specifically for Peg Perego's sealed lead-acid 6V battery chemistry. It can safely charge most standard 6V sealed AGM batteries of similar capacity — but Peg Perego recommends using it only with the official IAKB0509 battery to ensure optimal performance and battery longevity. Using the charger with non-Peg Perego batteries may affect charge termination and long-term battery health.
Should I unplug the battery from the vehicle when charging?
Peg Perego 6V vehicles are designed to be charged while the battery is still connected inside the vehicle — the charging port on the vehicle routes directly to the battery. Simply plug the MECB0085U into the vehicle's charging port and into a wall outlet. There's no need to remove the battery from the vehicle for a routine charge.
